Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-2324:
------------------------------------------
Robert - the problem for reduce.input.limit was not 'right' value for the
constant, but the fact that 'guessing' the reduce input was broken.
For now, should we commit the logging change while you investigate if we can
fix the 'guess'?
> Job should fail if a reduce task can't be scheduled anywhere

> If there's a reduce task that needs more disk space than is available on any
> mapred.local.dir in the cluster, that task will stay pending forever. For
> example, we produced this in a QA cluster by accidentally running terasort
> with one reducer - since no mapred.local.dir had 1T free, the job remained in
> pending state for several days. The reason for the "stuck" task wasn't clear
> from a user perspective until we looked at the JT logs.
> Probably better to just fail the job if a reduce task goes through all TTs
> and finds that there isn't enough space.
